.US Domain Registration

The .US country-specific extension was established in 1985 and given to the USA, but it was available to the public in 2002. It is among the most widespread country-specific extensions considering that quite a few US enterprises prefer to use a local domain and the US market is amongst the largest worldwide. Quite a few institutions, agencies and local governments also had or still have second-, third- or even fourth-level dot US domains together with their official .GOV domains.

We are among the registration providers offering dot US registrations and your new domain will be operational within the hour after you order it. The registration period is between one and ten years and you can also move over an already registered domain and we will renew it after the transfer process is done and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel tool, you will have total control over your domain name – you can change your WHOIS information, to park your domain, to add custom DNS records, etc.

Only US citizens, residents, organizations and businesses can book dot US domains, so foreign entities must have a local presence, whilst individuals from other countries are not able to reserve such domains. To carry into effect these rules, the Registry that handles the TLD – Neustar, performs occasional audits on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-specific domain not to support Whois Privacy Protection, so the Registrant (owner) info will always be publicly available upon a WHOIS check.
